This is an easy addition to climbing Haeckel, which is a much cooler climb. The route across the col is really straight forward, and of course the views are great as always in the Sierra!
Wallace, Haeckel traverse Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2009
Climbed via the North face route then continued on the traverse to Haeckel. Pretty loose and crappy down low, gets more solid and fun higher up near the summit.
I climbed the peak from Wallace Col on the way to an overnight camp just on the west side of the crest. Neither side of Wallace Col was particularly enjoyable, with the west side being especially loose.
After having climbed Mt. Fiske, we approached from the southwest up to the left of Wallace Col and turned left on the ridge to the summit. That summit block was a great photo op spot. Descended the southeast face.
one of my first big solos. Went up east slopes, couldn't find way around, so traverse to north ridge, down south side. great glissade. Slapped summit block.
Tried haeckel from their twice, no luck- I feel like an idiot. Any suggestions?
Route: From Sabrina Basin Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2004
Climbed with my son Alex McLeod, Mark Danner, and Keith Erke. A long hard scramble from camp at Dingleberry Lake. A big pile of rock! Up NE slope, down SE slope. No fun either way!
Route Climbed: NE Ridge/N Face Date Climbed: 9/24/05
Dayhike out of Sabrina Lake, up a class 4 chute to the NE Ridge/N Face. A dusting of snow on the face(6-12") made it slippery and very interesting. Wonderful views from the top and great fall colors at the lake. Descended the NW Ridge toward Haeckel.
Route Climbed: Traverse from Mt Haeckel, descended Southeast Slope Date Climbed: August 4th, 2004
The traverse over from Haeckel was fun, but the descent down the Southeast Slope was a nightmare! I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to climb up that slope.
Route Climbed: Traverse from Haeckel / Southeast Slope (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2004
